Chapter 29 - Orthography

After listening to his father's story, Fang Chen finally understood.

His mother's family was very powerful, to the point where they were no longer in the Divine Wind Nation. However, his father's family was just a small one.

If it hadn't been for their mother threatening them with death, and the fact that the Fang Clan would have been annihilated with the flip of a hand, all of them would have believed that their father was not worthy of their mother.

Fang Chen clenched his fists. He also did not expect that the first thing he would hear about after returning to the Fang family was that his mother was taken away.

"Father, don't worry. I will definitely work hard in cultivation to one day bring mother back." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

He didn't think that Fang Chen could do it. After all, the strength of that family was not something that Fang Tianyu could imagine.

"Chen'er, your mother said before she left that she hoped that we could lead an ordinary life. She does not wish for us to find her." Fang Tianyu said in a low voice.

"Father …"

Fang Chen opened his mouth and said, but he was interrupted by Fang Tianyu.

"Chen'er, there is no need to mention this matter again. Don't disappoint your mother." Fang Tianyu said.

Hearing this, Fang Chen no longer said anything. He knew that no matter what he said, his father would not listen.

After a while, the atmosphere in the study room recovered, and Fang Chen asked.

"Father, what's the second thing?" Fang Chen asked.

"The second matter concerns the girl from the Ye family." Fang Tianyu said.

"Ye Zi?"

Although Fang Tianyu did not say it explicitly, Fang Chen already understood that the Ye Family must have wanted to annul the engagement due to the pressure from the Ye Family.

However, once the marriage contract was broken, the Fang family's reputation would be ruined. How could they continue to stay in the Black Cloud City in the future?

Fang Chen clenched his fists tightly, in his heart, he was filled with grievances, all because he was weak, if not for it, the Ye Family would not have reacted like this.

"Chen'er, we're busy here, so you don't need to think too much about it. Go back and rest." Fang Tianyu said.

Fang Chen glanced at Fang Tianyu, he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he shook his head and left the study.

On the second day back at the Fang Family residence, Fang Chen was preparing to leave the room, but suddenly his body trembled, and his face revealed a look of ecstasy.

"Is he about to break through?"

Fang Chen was ecstatic, he immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

At this time, within Fang Chen's body, his golden heart was beating extremely quickly. Around his body, the spirit energy of heaven and earth was constantly drilling into his body, tempering his body.

"Hmm?"

Fang Chen realized that there was white mist slowly floating out of his bones and he recognized it in an instant.

"It's the residual medicinal effect of the Body Tempering Pill."

Fang Chen was overjoyed, this was the right time to make a breakthrough, the effects of the Body Refinement Pellet could help him break through quickly.

Hiss, hiss, hiss …

Fang Chen began to give it his all to break through, and time passed bit by bit.

After two hours, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you done with your 5th level of the Refinement Realm?"

Fang Chen acted as if he was in a dream, and in the short period of not even two months, he actually forcefully broke through from the first level of Qi Refinement Realm to the third.

As the overlord of Black Cloud City, the Fang family only had 5th level of the Refinement Realm.

The reason why the Ye Family was stronger than the Fang Family was because of the younger generation. It was said that the Ye Zi of the younger generation of the Ye Family had already reached the sixth stage of Qi Refinement Realm.

Phew...

Fang Chen spat out a mouthful of impure air and then slowly stood up.

Who would have thought that right after returning to the Fang family, Fang Chen, who had already reached the 5th level of the Refinement Realm, was confident that she could fight against a warrior at the late fifth stage?

However, just as Fang Chen was checking his body, his heart suddenly thumped once again. Fang Chen felt that his understanding towards the sword had become even deeper.

It was at this time that the chant for the seventh sword of the Golden Light Sword Technique quickly began to circulate in Fang Chen's mind.

Crash …

Fang Chen's body couldn't help but start to move. The lightweight sword in his hand quickly waved, and rays of golden light danced about.

Ka-cha …

When the last sword beam shot out from the lightweight sword, it instantly shattered a large rock in the distance.

Seeing that, Fang Chen's face lit up.

"I never thought that the Golden Light Sword Technique would also reach the seventh sword strike."

When the Golden Light Sword Technique reached the seventh sword, Fang Chen already understood that the reason why the Golden Light Sword Technique was so tyrannical was because when the Golden Light Sword Technique reached the seventh sword, it was already not any weaker than inferior.

"Seems like the complete version of the Golden Light Sword Technique is also a low-grade technique." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

"With this Golden Light Sword Technique's seventh strike, I have the confidence to fight against a peak 5th level of the Refinement Realm practitioner, or even … Sixth level of Qi Refinement Realm. "

Of course, Fang Chen wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could defeat someone at the sixth stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.

"Chenzi."

Just then, Fang Chen heard a shout, and immediately noticed his cousin Fang Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, you're here?" Fang Chen said.

"Chenzi, today is the Fang family's young generation competition. I specifically came to call for you." Fang Sheng said.

"Hmm? The competition of the younger generation in the family? " Fang Chen asked.

"Let's go. All the disciples have gone to the plaza. We will go as well." Fang Sheng laughed and pulled Fang Chen towards the plaza.

When the two of them arrived at the square, it was already packed full. All the Fang family disciples were standing on the square.

On the main platform, there were Fang Chen's eldest uncle, second uncle, and Fang Tianyu.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fang Chen's uncle started to speak.

"Today is the day of our Fang Clan's young generation's Grand Competition. I hope you can obtain a good result."

Although the Fang family was in decline, the rules still remained. The young generation's Large Competition was something the Fang family held every year.

Today, it just so happened to be met by Fang Chen.

Fang Chen's appearance also attracted the attention of many Fang Family disciples. However, most of the disciples only glanced at Fang Chen and no longer looked at him anymore.

In their eyes, Fang Chen's strength was not enough to threaten them.

Of course, only Fang Sheng, Manager Li and the others knew of Fang Chen's true strength.

"Alright, the match starts now." The Fang family's patriarch said.

Including the other branches, there were a total of 30 people in the younger generation.

One battle after another was carried out in an orderly manner. Fang Chen was watching the entire time.

"Chen-zi, do you want to go up and show some of your skills?" Fang Sheng asked.

Fang Chen shook his head. After his realm had reached 5th level of the Refinement Realm, no one in the Fang Family's young generation would be a match for him. He naturally would not waste any time.

"What a pity." Hearing this, Fang Sheng felt that it was a pity.

"What's a pity?" Fang Chen asked.

"If you don't go up on stage to fight, Fang Yun will definitely be first again." Fang Sheng said.

Fang Yun was the son of his uncle Fang Chen, the most outstanding genius in the Fang family's younger generation. He had long since reached the level of 5th level of the Refinement Realm, and could be considered a top figure even in the Black Cloud City.

Just as Fang Sheng was speaking, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, Fang Chen raised his head and suddenly, Fang Yun's figure appeared on the stage.

Fang Yun wore a set of green clothes, and on his face was an indifferent smile, his opponent was Fang Hong.

"Brother Fang Yun, although I am not your match, I will not easily admit defeat." Fang Hong giggled.

Fang Hong and Fang Sheng were siblings, and was the daughter of Fang Chen's second uncle.

"Good, then let's fight." Fang Yun laughed.

Rumble …

When Fang Hong heard this, she clenched her fist and swung it. Streams of fist lights shot out from her fist.

"Fang Hong's strength has improved greatly."

Beneath the stage, Fang Chen said softly.

In his memories, Fang Hong was only a practitioner of Third level of the Refinement Realm. But right now, she had already become a cultivator of the peak Fourth level of the Refinement Realm.

"Fang Hong is the second person in our Fang Family's younger generation. It's a pity that she isn't a match for Fang Yun." Fang Sheng said with a tinge of regret.

Fang Chen did not speak anymore, and watched the two fight.

On the stage, the two of them battled intensely. Fang Yun, as expected of the Fang family's The strongest of the younger generation, immediately displayed his absolute strength and directly suppressed Fang Hong.

Time ticked by, and Fang Hong gradually felt that she was unable to persevere any longer.

Bang

After a loud explosion, Fang Hong stopped her attacks. A bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Brother Fang Yun, I lost." Fang Hong said.

"Little Sister Hong, your strength is also not bad. There's hope for you to reach 5th level of the Refinement Realm." Fang Yun nodded and said.

Fang Yun had won, and everyone below was shocked.

After Fang Yun, there were still many matches, but it was not interesting at all, and many people did not care.

On the main platform, Fang Tianshan looked at Fang Chen who was standing beside him and asked: "When did Fang Chen return?"

Hearing Big Brother's question, Fang Tianyu said, "He came back yesterday."

"Big Brother, Fang Chen's wedding..." The second brother Fang Tianbao asked in a low voice.

"Fang Chen is a son of my Fang family, as the clan leader, my duty is to protect everyone in the family. If the Ye family goes too far, I don't mind moving my muscles and bones." Fang Tianshan said in a low voice.

The Large Competition lasted a full six hours, and the rankings were finally determined.

The first in the younger generation was Fang Yun, the second was Fang Hong, and the third …

When the referee announced the results of the match, a voice suddenly broke the silence of the square.

"I think Chen-zi will be able to enter the top three in the Large Competition." Fang Sheng's voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing Fang Sheng's voice, everyone turned their gaze to Fang Chen, not understanding why he would say that.

"Fang Sheng, what do you mean?" The third ranked Fang Long asked.

"With Chenzi's strength, he definitely has the qualifications to enter the top three of the Large Competition." Fang Sheng said.

Hearing that, Fang Chen laughed bitterly, he did not want to be too flamboyant, he did not expect his cousin Fang Sheng to say such words at this place.

"Brother Sheng." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

"Fang Chen, I know many people in the clan call you trash, but the reason why I'm doing this is because I want to give you a proper name." Fang Sheng said loudly.
